? 17 In the first half of the year, I saw my friend's goose nursery rhymes punching in the circle of friends. I was very interested and paid attention to the official WeChat account. Soon after, I participated in the English picture book reading plan launched by the company-intensive reading of ten English picture books per issue, ten issues of * * *. Every morning, WeChat group will send audio and electronic picture books. During that time, it was like beating chicken blood, and I was looking forward to new lessons every day. What excites me more is that Iridium likes it, too! So, I used her time in kindergarten to read picture books intensively and listen to them after school.
Two weeks passed quickly, and the 100-reading plan came to an end. Since we have made a good start, English enlightenment can't stop! So, I started to find some audio for her on the music listening software, only to find that she was not so interested. Later, after reading some theoretical books and articles, I realized that the audio input that I didn't "prepare lessons" in advance was invalid. The "ear grinding" advocated by English enlightenment should be understandable grinding, rather than playing original audio as background music every day. Imagine, if you have not been exposed to Arabic, can you learn to listen to Arabic radio every day?
? Since she is not interested, I can only find a theory book to charge myself first. First, I found Anne Flower's English enlightenment on WeChat reading, which I couldn't miss. After reading it, I immediately recommended it to several friends. In the book, the professional knowledge such as language sense enlightenment, natural spelling and word-reading are analyzed in detail. , and introduced the principle of choosing books for children-five fingers selection and the standard of North American classified reading materials, which benefited a lot!
? At the same time, I chose a super simple song for Iridium? Anihua-grinding your baby's English ears These simple and rhythmic English nursery rhymes have a good effect on grinding your ears.
? After reading Anne flowers's book, I started with Liao Caixing-listening to English with audio books easily.
What impressed me most about Liao Caixing was the selection of books. She can select 130 books from a large number of English picture books and make a listening and reading schedule for 52 weeks a year. These books have a good rhythm and face value. Of course, these books are not teaching materials, and there is no systematic grading. Therefore, after listening to it week after week, Xiaoyan likes only a few.
The first book she likes to read is Uncle Carl's brown bear series Polar Bear. Little Iridium has a habit, or addiction, that is, whether it is a song or a picture book, as long as she likes it, she can sing along for a long time.
My favorite is this song "Go Away, Mr. Wolf", which can be sung and read several times a day.
There are also "Beside the Station" and "I am a Musician" Himalayan listening books, with singing and reading editions, so as to learn some words about colors, animals, vehicles and musical instruments.
Liao Caixing 130' s plan of audio books is difficult to go on because he doesn't buy books.
At this time, I happened to see the big V store promoting sweetheart English. After reading the introduction, I feel very fond of it. A set of 20 cardboard books just contains many topics I want, so I decided to start.
? After receiving it, I was shocked. There were 20 books in it, including flip books and cave books, and one that I could still smell with! The supporting audio on the Internet is also very complete. Every book has three kinds of audio-story, retelling and chanting. I bought it in October/October, and it has been edified for almost three months now.
? Besides the picture books above, my favorite is the red and yellow version of "Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes", which is a classic nursery rhyme circulating in Europe and America. I chose this set for enlightenment because I think I can learn about the cultural background of other countries through these nursery rhymes when I am old. Fortunately, Iridium also likes these nursery rhymes! In fact, choosing books is just like making complementary food. Parents must check it. It can't be said that taking children to the children's book area and letting them choose for themselves seems very free, but it doesn't mean much to their success. Sometimes I take Xiaoyan to the library to pick out books, because I can only borrow four books at a time. I told her that everyone would choose two books. In fact, it won't be long before she goes home by herself.
? There are some books she likes that I must buy home:
In fact, Henny Penny's book is a bit difficult, but it may be that the story attracted her, so she can understand some sentences after about three and a half years old.
? Then, I bought Gai Zhaoquan's Being the Best English Enlightenment Planner for Children.
Like Anne flowers and Liao Caixing, Gai Zhaoquan also paid special attention to "listening". In the book, the order of "listening-speaking-reading-writing" in language learning is particularly emphasized to help readers correct their misunderstanding about "natural spelling". Natural spelling is very popular in the current English enlightenment circle, and many training courses attract parents' attention with the slogan "Learn to spell naturally and you can read, listen and write words". The author points out that natural spelling is for reading, and it is a reading tool based on a certain vocabulary (generally 3000 words), so it is useless to learn natural spelling at zero basic level!
? Gai Zhaoquan also emphasized his views on book selection in his book. She thinks that English enlightenment should choose graded reading materials instead of picture books. I agree with that. In fact, picture books are only read as story books, which are not systematic, while graded reading materials are compiled according to the grading index.
? In fact, at the beginning, I saw intensive reading classes of graded reading materials such as Oxford Tree, but at that time, I thought that such systematic reading materials would have to wait until they were used, so I chose Liao Caixing's book list. It was not until I read Gai Zhaoquan's book that I learned about classification books again, such as Oxford Tree. The knowledge they cover is actually very comprehensive, which can enlighten English and expand the knowledge at the same time. Why not?
? Yes 18, I plan to start learning graded reading next year. This year, I plan to learn the lower level of three sets of graded reading materials, namely: RAZ, Oxford Tree and Langdon Graded Reading. I am deeply understanding these three sets of books. I hope I can achieve my goal this year and avoid detours on the road to enlightenment!
